FYI Google used gsuite internally for its 20k-or-whatever engineers and, in my opinion, it works fantastically.

(I'm a Google engineer)




I'll bet money that accounting & finance teams at Google use Excel.


Yes... yes, they do.

Most of them use iPhones too.


How do we find this out?


Empirically we buy a company, tell the accounting team that we are changing to gsuite and see if the CTO gets fired, or the accounting team quits, or the company gets a hit.

IF neither, Gsuite is ok.


I'd leave a moderately-sized (like 5 pages) work gdoc page open on my work machine at Google and come back the next day and it was using 1gb of RAM. Fantastic is certainly one word for it.


Collab tools are fabulous no doubt, but sheets feels entirely neglected and basic. Permissions model is clunky and gsuite governance is nonexistent - you have to buy a CASB license to do anything effectively.

It's not a bad suite, I just think it's confused on some areas (don't even get me started on the chat/conference systems tho)
